Turbo 5 clutches?

[Dave Glubrecht]

I have a centerforce duelfriction clutch in a non-audi that I own.
This particular clutch does not have the weights due to lack of room in the
bellhousing.
I am fairly pleased with it and am running almost twice the HP through it as
the oem clutch was designed for.
I have run this clutch for over three years and it is holding up fine even
with some racing (on the track).
The initial clutch appeared to be if good working order with lots of wear
left when I did the motor swap but upon the initial test drive it was
clearly not up to the task and was completely gone in ~1k miles.
